The strange outline of a train and its headlights is visible at the station in China

The strange apparition pulls into the platform and waits for approximately 20 seconds before continuing along the tracks.

Internet users claim it is as though the "ghost train" has stopped to "pick up passengers" and rides off into a "parallel universe".

The bizarre footage was posted on YouTube channel The Hidden Underbelly 2.0 on March 10 this year.

It was captioned: "When the station's security [staff] were watching the surveillance cameras they noticed this 'Ghost Train; pull into the station and stop as if it was picking up passengers and then leaving.
